Paul is dual qualified as a Barrister and a Solicitor, completing his pupilage and practice at Hardwicke Building in London before moving to Eversheds in 1992, where he was a partner for 9 years. Whilst at Eversheds, Paul established and developed their national costs team to a turnover of approximately £2 million per annum.

Paul founded Just Costs solicitors in 2006, and the business has grown from just two members of staff and a handful of clients, to the thriving and established business of today.

In addition to being our Managing Director, Paul also heads up our successful Advocacy Team and has been involved in a number of high profile cases, the most notable of these being:

IKOS litigation

Multi-million pound on-going costs disputes, in respect of various pieces of litigation in respect of ownership of the IKOS group and its various subsidiaries and alleged commission/bonus payments due from the leading hedge fund group.

Buncefield Oil Explosion

The largest explosion in Europe since the Second World War. We were instructed over a number of years, by DAC Beachcroft, to act on behalf of Total, who were held responsible for the explosion. The costs claims ran into many tens of millions of pounds and we spent many, many weeks in Court dealing with hearings in respect of the various costs claims.

Daad Sharab v Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal [2013] EWHC2324 (Ch)

Costs dispute acting on behalf of TLT for Daad Sharab, following her successful trial for $10 million commission brokering the sale of an aircraft to Colonel Gadaffi on behalf of the defendant, a prince of the Saudi Arabian royal family.
